Analysis of family history information about first-, second- and third-degree relatives of 45 anorectic patients and 38 control subjects with different types of neurosis showed significantly more depression and eating disorders in the families of the anorectic group. Our data revealed the same prevalence of psychiatric disorders in general for both groups; the alcoholism rate was higher in the anorectic group without a statistic significance. These findings might provide further evidence of a possible genetic relationship between anorexia nervosa and affective illness.
对45名厌食症患者以及38名患有不同类型神经症的对照对象的一级、二级和三级亲属的家族史信息进行分析后发现，厌食症组家族中抑郁症和饮食失调症的发病率明显更高。我们的数据显示，两组人群中精神疾病的总体患病率相同；厌食症组的酗酒率更高，但无统计学意义。这些发现可能进一步证明神经性厌食症与情感性疾病之间可能存在遗传关系。
